Chapter 913 City In The Desert (2)
913 City In The Desert (2)
They were especially careful along the way, but they did not find anything unusual.
Even when they reached the city gate, it was still the same.
"Tsk…"
"It can"t really be an empty city, right?"
Gu Yunfan curiously raised his head and looked at the tall city gate. He reached out and gently touched the city gate.
"Eh?"
"What happened?"
Hearing Gu Yunfan"s voice, everyone looked over.
"This… How can it pa.s.s through directly?"
Looking at Gu Yunfan"s hand that had already reached into the city gate, w.a.n.g Zhen and the others were also shocked by this scene.
Iron Axe hesitated for a moment and was about to go in when he was stopped by w.a.n.g Zhen.
"Wait, I"ll try using the Wind Sparrow Leader to have a look."
Then, w.a.n.g Zhen asked the leader of the Wind Sparrows to fly down and pa.s.s through the main door.
"How"s it?"
The few of them looked at w.a.n.g Zhen.
After sensing it, w.a.n.g Zhen"s expression darkened slightly.
"It"s a little difficult."
"Leader Wind Sparrow… has lost contact…"
"Lost contact?!"
"Yes." w.a.n.g Zhen nodded. "It"s not dead. I"m sure of that, but it"s useless no matter how I call it. Moreover, I can"t summon it."
These words made their hearts skip a beat.
"Could it be that it"s a trap for our beasts?"
Gu Yunfan was a little uncertain.
"Hard to say. We can"t rule out the possibility."
"Then are we still going in?"
w.a.n.g Zhen looked at Gu Yunfan.
He had this thought himself.
After all, the benefits from the "exploration" of the beast world would not be inferior to finding a well-preserved pre-war resource bank in the outside world.
Be it a map or a strategy, as long as it was information from the Beast Taming World, it could be sold for a price.
Although their Beast Taming Index would disperse the fog that enveloped this area, this did not mean that others who had never been here could enter casually.
Furthermore, they had no intention of letting Xing Rong build the teleportation array for free.
Therefore, if they could excavate this area.
That would be good for everyone.
Previously, on the land, everyone had briefly discussed the subsequent income distribution.
Yes, although such thoughts were a little far-sighted, it was considered a precautionary plan.
However, the prerequisite was that they had indeed discovered something.
"I"m definitely going in."
Mark, who had a self-healing mutation ability and was riding the Dreadful Battle Lizard, was the first to express his stance.
Gu Yunfan hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Sure, but I think we can put away our tamed beasts for the time being."
"After all, everyone has an energy shield on them, and there"s also the Beast Taming Index."
"If this place is really only targeted at tamed beasts, it might be a little troublesome."
This suggestion was unanimously agreed by everyone.
Compared to them humans, tamed beasts were the ones in more danger in the Beast Taming World.
After all, if the tamed beasts died accidentally, it would be a huge loss.
They could be a little bolder in the Beast Taming World.
After all, there was an existence like the Beast Taming Index that could tolerate mistakes.
"Alright, then… shall we go in together?"
"Yeah."
"Remember to keep the line open."
Zhuge Qing"s voice sounded from everyone"s Beast Taming Index.
After determining the strategy, they stepped into the "transparent" city gate in unison.
After an uncomfortable dizziness, Zhuge Qing opened her eyes and saw all kinds of… orcs on the road in front of her?!
Most of them were kobolds, followed by lion men, lizardmen, and scorpionmen.
These existences all have one thing in common.
Of course, some of their limbs had also changed slightly.
For example, the scorpionman"s hand turned into a pair of pliers.
But they did walk upright.
"This…"
The others were also stunned by the scene in front of them.
However, w.a.n.g Zhen immediately discovered a problem—
"Why do they feel like they can"t see us?"
"That"s right… Why are they turning a blind eye to us when they pa.s.s by?"
"Commander w.a.n.g!"
"En?" w.a.n.g Zhen looked at Gu Yunfan.
"Have you contacted your beast?"
"I can contact it now. It"ll be back soon."
Gu Yunfan looked at the few Kobolds pa.s.sing by in front of them and had a bad guess.
He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the Kobolds.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Houndhead Men pa.s.s through his body while chatting and laughing.
This scene stunned w.a.n.g Zhen, who had just wanted to stop him.
"Is this an illusion?!"
Mark immediately became vigilant.
w.a.n.g Zhen and the others immediately reacted.
"The guess should not be far off."
Gu Yunfan sighed.
"I should have known. I already thought it was strange at the time."
"It"s just that I"ve truly never seen such… such a grandiose illusion before people."
At the same time, Zhuge Qing, who was outside, did not get any reply after calling the people inside.
The expression on his face suddenly became serious.
"Everyone, be careful. I can"t contact them anymore."
Hearing this, Xing Rong and Shi Lei immediately became vigilant. Marvin also looked at the "city" in front of him with a worried expression.
"Then… shall we go out?"
Gu Yunfan nodded.
"Well, it"s best to get out."
The few of them turned around and arrived at the city gate. Then, they prepared to walk out like before.
14:55
Dong ~
A few crisp sounds rang out.
"Hiss… Are we unable to get out?!"
Iron Axe looked at the seemingly solid city gate in front of him in horror, his teeth chattering.
He was not afraid of powerful beasts, but facing such a strange situation made him extremely afraid.
There was also bad news coming from Gu Yunfan.
"I can"t use the Beast Taming Index…"
"What?!"
Hearing Gu Yunfan"s words, they immediately looked at the Beast Taming Index on their wrists.
He realized that the Beast Taming Index on his wrist had all turned gray.
It was useless to press the b.u.t.ton.
"F*ck!"
"What should we do?"
Gu Yunfan scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn"t have been so hasty.
Unwilling to give up, Iron Axe knocked on the city wall again.
He realized that this thing had also become like a city gate, as if it had a physical body.
"Let"s fly up and take a look."
w.a.n.g Zhen placed his hopes on the leader of the Wind Sparrows.
But unfortunately…
When the Wind Sparrow leader flew more than ten meters high, it fell as if it had hit a board.
It took it a lot of effort to flap its wings and stabilize itself.
"In other words, we"re now in a box?"
"Something like that."
"Do you still remember the conversation between Boss Ma and his Treasure-Hunting Mouse?"
After a moment of silence, Gu Yunfan suddenly spoke.
Mark was stunned for a moment before nodding.
"I remember. Why?"
"He says there"s something in the middle of the city."
Gu Yunfan pointed at the center of the city.
"Do you think it"s caused by that valuable thing?"
Hearing Gu Yunfan"s words, w.a.n.g Zhen clapped his hands—
"That"s right!"
"That should likely be the case!"
"If I had known earlier, I would have called my brother in."
"Don"t be so optimistic. We have to find that thing first."
Iron Axe looked at the indistinct half-human half-beasts in front of him and gritted his teeth.
"It"s just some illusions. Can"t we just walk straight over?"
Everyone agreed with him.
Then, Iron Axe took the lead and led the way.
After ramming through more than ten meters, Iron Axe was about to continue, but when he was about to pa.s.s through a lion man, he b.u.mped into it.
"Roar?!"
"What is it?!"
Iron Axe and the others, who were not far behind him, were all stunned when they saw the lion man suddenly looking around.
